Andres Freund 14f98e0af9 hio: Release extension lock before initializing page / pinning VM
PageInit() while holding the extension lock is unnecessary after 0d1fe9f74e
started to use RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK - nobody can look at the new page before we
release the page lock. PageInit() zeroes the page, which isn't that cheap, so
deferring it until after the extension lock is released seems like a good idea.

Doing visibilitymap_pin() while holding the extension lock, introduced in
7db0cd2145, looks like an accident. Due to the restrictions on
HEAP_INSERT_FROZEN it's unlikely to be a performance issue, but it still seems
better to move it out.  We also are doing the visibilitymap_pin() while
holding the buffer lock, which will be fixed in a separate commit.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
